Billed by the second. Minimum charge per run: one cent.

Model usage

Your model provider bills you for the tokens your agents use - at their price, on your own API key, with nothing added by us. At launch, Dispatch works with Anthropic and OpenAI keys, with more providers to follow.

What real work costs

Code review on a typical PRAbout 2 minutesUpsun Dispatch bill: ~€0.06Your model provider: ~€0.66
*Exact agent time varies with task complexity. Figures are medians from customer runs; individual runs vary.
Your model provider bills you separately for tokens, at their price, with nothing added by us. The cost depends on your model provider and how much code the agent reads. Nine in ten code reviews cost under €4.01 in model usage.

AI spend, under your control

  • AI usage can be unpredictable. Your bill shouldn't be.
  • Decide what you'll spend. Load your wallet with that amount. When it runs out, nothing new starts.
  • Let work finish. Hitting your limit shouldn't kill a job that's almost done. Work in progress is allowed to finish, so you don't lose what you've paid for.
  • Know exactly where it went. Every cost is attributed to the run, workflow, and team that generated it.

FAQ

What does Upsun Dispatch cost?

You pay for the time your agents spend running. No per-seat licenses, no feature tiers, no subscription. Agent time costs $0.030 per minute ($1.80 per hour), billed by the second.

Model usage is separate: you pay your model provider directly, at their prices, with no markup from us. Your total cost depends on both agent runtime and the models you choose.

Agent time per hour: $1.80 USD · €1.70 EUR · £1.45 GBP · A$2.80 AUD · C$2.75 CAD.

How do I keep spending under control?

You set a limit. Upsun Dispatch shows you exactly where the money goes - every cost is tied to the run, workflow, and team that generated it. When you hit your limit, nothing new starts, and work already running is allowed to finish.

Can I set separate budgets for different teams or clients?

Spending limits are set on your prepaid balance, and one balance can be shared across multiple organizations.

Is Upsun Dispatch free to try?

Yes. Every new organization starts on Free automatically, with no credit card and no trial countdown. You get 20 agent-minutes per day, resetting at midnight UTC. When the day's minutes run out, running work finishes; new runs wait for midnight.

Good to know: Free costs nothing from Upsun. The daily minutes cover the time agents spend running in Upsun Dispatch. Model usage is separate: it runs on your own model provider API key, and your provider bills you directly for it.

Do I need my own model provider account?

Yes. You bring your own model provider API key - Anthropic or OpenAI at launch; Dispatch runs the work. Upsun charges for agent time. Your model provider charges for model usage, on your own API key, with no markup from Upsun.

How is my usage measured?

Usage is agent runtime: priced in agent-hours, measured to the second. An agent-minute is a minute of running agent time.

Several runs can happen at the same time. Each run's time counts separately.

While a run waits for a human decision at an approval gate, you are not billed. Waiting at a gate costs nothing.

What do typical workloads cost?

In real customer runs, a typical code review takes about 2 minutes: about €0.06 in agent time and about €0.66 in model usage. Nine in ten runs cost less than €4.01 in model usage. Cost depends on your model provider and how much code the agent reads.

Your codebase will vary. Your usage view itemizes every run.

How do I pay?

You purchase agent time in advance. Add funds, and agent time is deducted from your balance as your agents run. No subscription, no monthly fee. Funds are valid for 12 months from purchase.

Model usage is separate: your model provider bills you directly, using your own API key.

What happens when my balance runs out?

Nothing new starts until you top up. We notify you before your balance runs out, and you can add funds manually or turn on automatic top-ups. Work already running is allowed to finish, so your balance can dip below zero. The overrun appears in your usage view like every other cost, and your next top-up settles it. We would rather show you a small negative number than throw away your work.

What happens to my free minutes if I upgrade?

When you upgrade, agent time is deducted from your prepaid balance, and the free daily 20 minutes no longer applies.

Free minutes never accumulate. Upgrading is permanent: a paid organization can't return to Free.

Do you use my data to train AI models?

On Pay as you go, we do not use your content, inputs, or outputs to train AI models, unless you have given us prior consent, as set out in our Terms of Service.

Free works differently. In exchange for free agent time, Upsun may use content, inputs, outputs, and usage data from your Free usage to train AI models, as set out in our Service Specific Terms.

For the full details, see our Terms of Service and Service Specific Terms.

What support is included?

Pay as you go includes ticket support. Free includes our community forums and an AI assistant.

Which currencies do you support?
